Abstract

In recent decades there has been a progressive increase in concern and research into the problems of peer aggression, both in the educational setting and more recently, online. The present study sought to explore sex differences in traditional bullying and cyberbullying, since current literature has not reached a consensus in how bullying involvement could be moderated by sex. The sample consisted of 3,174 adolescents aged 12-17 years old who completed a paper survey which included the European Bullying Intervention Project Questionnaire and the European Cyberbullying Intervention Project Questionnaire. The main results found no differences in cyberbullying rates for boys and girls. In the case of bullying, there were more bully-victims among the boys, but no differences were found in the pure victims or pure perpetrators. When analysing the specific bullying behaviours suffered or perpetrated, several differences were found. However, said differences were discrete and it seems that there are not distinctly differentiated bullying patterns, which discourages the use of clearly differentiated preventive strategies for boys and girls.

青少年欺凌行为的性别差异

近几十年来，无论是在教育环境中，还是最近在网上，对同伴攻击问题的关注和研究都在逐渐增加。本研究试图探索传统欺凌和网络欺凌中的性别差异，因为目前的文献尚未就性别如何调节欺凌行为达成共识。样本包括3174名12-17岁的青少年，他们完成了一项论文调查，其中包括欧洲欺凌干预项目问卷和欧洲网络欺凌干预项目调查问卷。主要结果发现，男孩和女孩的网络欺凌率没有差异。在欺凌案件中，男孩中的欺凌受害者更多，但在纯粹的受害者和纯粹的施暴者中没有发现差异。在分析遭受或实施的具体欺凌行为时，发现了一些差异。然而，上述差异是离散的，似乎没有明显区别的欺凌模式，这阻碍了对男孩和女孩使用明显区别的预防策略。
